we’re done incredibly well.
What an unforgettable trip! My holiday in Vietnam was interesting, thanks to the travel team and their excellent planning. I got to experience the best of the country. Lindy, our travel consultant, was fantastic, she was always available and super helpful. Everything, from accommodations to transfers, was top-notch.

This curated travel experience promises relaxation, cultural insight, and thrilling activities, offering the perfect escape for nature lovers and adventure seekers.

When you mention Northern Vietnam, most travelers will immediately talk about Halong Bay and Hanoi. The northern region, however, has a lot more things to offer. One of them is Ninh Binh Province, where you can see the remarkable karst scenery around the village of Tam Soc.
Joining this 5-day-4-night tour of Hanoi, Ninh Binh and Halong will be a great way to learn more about the northern Vietnamese countryside and culture. Aside from taking in the wonderful scenery along the journey, you will also enjoy the fresh air. Explore the caves and grottos in Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and take a relaxing river cruise in Tam Coc amidst the splendor of its impressive landscape (the "Halong Bay on land").
In addition, a cyclo tour around Hanoi's popular attractions will make for a truly memorable visit to northern Vietnam.
What a dream trip! The tour operator made it all possible with seamless planning and running the trip. From iconic sights to hidden gems, every moment was a delight. Expert guides, great services and comfortable hotels, we enjoyed 12 days in Vietnam. Dat's professionalism was truly exceptional.
At 8 am, you will be picked up at your hotel in Hanoi for the 3.5-hour drive east of the capital to reach Halong City, the gateway to Halong Bay. Along the way, you will see relaxing views of the countryside and the ubiquitous farmers tending their rice paddy fields.
In Halong, you will get on board a traditional junk and set sail around this gorgeous bay, declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1994. The cruise will let you have a close look at many of the magnificent rock formations and isles of various shapes and sizes. You continue enjoying the spectacular natural scenery while savoring a delicious seafood lunch on board.
You will visit one of the many beautiful grottoes, Dong Thien Cung (Heavenly Palace Grotto), which is located on a distant island in the bay. As the name suggests, the cave is beautified with thousands of stalactites and stalagmites. Colorful lights transform the scenic place into a fairy-tale palace. You can also explore Dau Go Cave, which is known for the history of Vietnam’s fight against Mongolian invasion in the 13th century. Thien Cung and Dau Go are remnants of the same old cave system. They both survive in the northern part of Dau Go island at between 20m and 50m above sea level.
Then you will resume cruising to the southern part of Halong Bay, where you can see many strange-shaped islands, pay a visit to the colorful floating village of local fishermen, as well as do kayaking to explore distant parts of the bay.
Afterwards, you will be sailing back to Halong wharf, where a private car that will take you to Hanoi is waiting. You will arrive at your hotel around 8 pm.
Fantastic vacation. This tour was an excellent introduction to Vietnam; it made us eager to return and explore the country further. The transfers from the airport, hotel and on-the-day excursions were all seamless. We packed so much into our trip and saw so many incredible sites. The experience was fantastic for our children. We can't speak highly enough of the care we received from this company. Cheapest vacation ever!
The accommodation was just as advertised, the boat was very well presented, clean and excellent facilities. Very pleased with the room. I woke up on the second morning to find they had been up all night and replaced the carpets in some of the public areas!!?
The dining area was a lovely place to sit and eat, the food was fabulous, and lots of it too.
You kind of expect good service, but the staff on board were exceptional and such good fun too, singing and dancing behind the bar 🙂 Tequila (his name!) went out of his way to make sure everything was alright.
I would definitely recommend this trip and also for 2 days. The second day is full of things to do and you're also away from the really busy tourist bits that can only sail so far for one night onboard. I will book again when I return, its fabulous.

We are absolutely in love with Vietnam! Our heartfelt gratitude goes to the tour company for creating an incredible experience for us.
Throughout the planning process, the tour operator was incredibly responsive and accommodating. We worked together on multiple iterations of the itinerary until we
settled on the perfect one. During the trip, when a small hiccup occurred, but our tour operator swiftly responded and made necessary adjustments to ensure our journey
remained seamless. His clarity regarding the inclusions and his expertise in selecting fantastic hotels and guides truly enhanced our experience.
A special mention goes to our outstanding guide in Sapa. We highly recommend this as he provided exceptional insights
and even hosts homestays. Our time in Hanoi, Sapa, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh, and Halong Bay was nothing short of amazing!
We were fortunate to learn so much about Vietnam and its incredible people. The country and its rich culture left a lasting impression on us.
Once again, thank you to tour company Travel for making this journey truly unforgettable.
Enjoyed my walking tour of Vietnam. So much variety and fun and no worries at all. So many extra excursions and insights. I would say the walking is not difficult at all. It would suit any level of fitness. The leader really looked after the group. Great if you’re a single man or women who loves to travel. I can’t wait for another tour.
This tour met all of our expectations! All of our requirements, from the destinations to the services, hotel arrangements, and guides, were perfectly taken care of. Evelyn was our lovely travel consultant and provided us with helpful details, tips, and kept the communication line open throughout our trip. It was really nice to have the chance to meet her in Hanoi, and thank you for the thoughtful gift. Highly recommend.
The hustle and bustle of Hanoi to the mighty Angkor Wat, this adventure takes you through two amazing Southeast Asian Countries. 12 days gives you ample time to truly immerse yourself in the different cultures of both countries whilst also having the opportunity to relax, such as on a cruise in the famous Halong Bay.
We will take you to see the contrast between old and new: from the shining high-rises of Ho Chi Minh city to exploring like Laura Croft through Angkor Wat temples or marvelling at the lanterns glistening from the water in Hoi An.
This tour certainly has it all and we promise to guide you through the way!
